Root Canals
This is probably the one dental treatment that gets the most stories told about it. In reality a great majority of these treatments, when completed, are no worse than having a filling done.
A root canal procedure is necessary when, for one reason or another, the nerve inside the tooth has died and the body cannot heal the nerve or infection inside the tooth chamber. In these situations, the root canals must be filled in order to eliminate the source of infection. Otherwise, the infection keeps seeping out of the tooth and reinfecting the bone around the tooth.
This condition can occur even though the tooth may have previously been filled or crowned. Sometimes trauma or heavy clenching or grinding can stress the nerve to where it cannot recover.
